I once heard JJT in an interview saying he was not a fan of the Cowboys and that the DMN did not hire him to be a fan of the Cowboys his job is to report about things taking place with the Cowboys and to offer his opinion about the Cowboys like most around here I agree with some things he has to say and not others. I think most of us fans are willing to give a player, coach and owner the benefit of the doubt on some issues JJT is not going to give anyone the benefit of the doubt because again he is not a fan.

Why would he need to be a fan? To give the benefit of the doubt?

Unless he just completely hates the Cowboys, I feel not being a fan is more advantageous if we want an unbiased point of view. Otherwise, I could go to a half dozen message boards and read homer interpretations all day long if that is what I was interested in.

I want to know who asked him what his biggest strength and his biggest weakness are.

That person has to be in Human Resources.

Man, I hate that question - it is just so stupid. The most rehearsed and asked question of all time.

I asked it.. and no, I'm not in Human Resources.. but there is a reason that they ask you that question at almost every interview. There are many different ways that you can answer it and there is no right or wrong way even if you have a rehearsed answer. The question is more psychological than anything else. It usually tells you something that the person is proud of or wants to be recognized for and then something else.. It's the something else that gives you a little more insight to the person. Most people will answer the question with two strengths, but say the second could be perceived as a weakness. Not stating an actual weakness can also be telling of an individual. Some people will cite things that others have told them, both good and bad and then some state something that they personally think that they can improve upon. None of them are right or wrong.

JJT's answer was pretty good IMO.. he's passionate/prideful about what he does, almost defensively so and maybe he can work on building trust/comfort in relationships with people along with finding out what the building blocks are for great extended interviews

Just another great thread from WG..........I don't think BrainPaint knows who JJT is but Winicki does and will probably make his announcement at the start of the draft! The group of guys/gals on this board are great Cowboy fans (for the most part) and provide me with great entertainment throughtout the year up here in the frozen tundra!

Just because he criticizes BP doesn't mean he doesn't like him. It's his job to criticize anyone in the organization as he sees fit. To be a professional, he has to give his honest take.

he's not being "professional" nor is he being unbiased as much as he's taken an ANTI TUNA stance with blinders in full effect... now he's spending more energy trying to prove his point than getting info.

his answers are also super defensive and some were belittling, as if he is some great talent evaluator of offensive linemen. ROTFLMAO

He’s inconsistent. He has great size and work ethic but he makes too many mistakes when it comes to making adjustments and line calls. But Parcells likes him and it will be interesting to see if he takes advantage of that to win the starting job this year.

One thing I think JJT is spot on about is Parcells and his last hoorah. I'm almost 100% certain about it, and I don't hang around with the team like JJT. I can't see him going longer than a 4th year. It's do or die time for Bill. Hope he goes out a winner.
